Tocco lite. Turning off the Internet ?

Got ds a tocco lite for xmas on p&g.

Is it possible to disable Internet access? At the moment his phone is rarely in need of topping up and I don't really want him running up Internet bills, or for that matter having net access over which I have no control ( he's 15, sensible, but not beyond googling umm " interesting" stuff I suspect).

Thanks!

    go into the settings and remove/change the password thats required to connect

    be aware that any "savvy" 15 year old could get the settings resent to their phone

    Thanks! It's not that he would go behind my back - he has plenty of net access at home and I'm sure if he wanted to look at naked ladies all the kids with iPhones would show him anyway its knowing he isn't going to loose all his credit in a few days more than the parental controls.

    ive got a tocco lite and i dont need to put in a password to get on the internet, you can take it to the shop of whichever network hes on and they can block it for you but then he wont be able to receive or send picture messages
